Onboard computers would synthesize data from an array of sensors (radar, microwave, lidar, optical and infrared) and external feedback systems that would monitor the road 656 feet in front of and behind the vehicle or vehicle platoon, Discovery News reported.

It will also include hi-definition cameras equipped with object recognition technologies that would help predict the path of other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and other hazardous objects.

Groups of these vehicles would be a centralized database controlled by intelligent algorithms that could adjust as new spatial information is fed to them.
